1926 is a hotel, but too bad it's closed ;]

@ threadstarter : u lookin for a 'beachy' feel location or 'city' fun type of place?

try at near gurney 1

budget motel

1926 is closed??

since when??

i havent been in penang for a long time

Along the beach in tanjung bungah has lotsa hotels. In town there's Cititel. Berjaya Hotel(if i'm not mistaken), and a few others i forgot, hehe. Whereas in Bukit Jambul area there has Equatorial Hotel, Vistana and in bayan baru area there's a Hotel Malaysia. For prices, i think online can check. and yes 1926 lama sudah tutup. nice concept tho.. hope i helped u a bit bit.. cheers..

well something near the city and the beach.. heard vistane is like 30 in from the city is it????? yeah that hotel closed at 2005.... i dont plan to go on a budget until need budget hotel some thin like apparment or like a chalet or those time sharing houses

thread merged with hotel search.

for me, i'll opt for either northam or gurney hotel. best in the area, especially the gurney suites with 2 bedrooms. if u can get someone to hook u up, u can get the room for like 250. for the beach area, either u go bt feringghi or tj bungah, tj bungah is abt 15 mins fr the city, prices there range fr 200+ i think, for copthorne, crown jewel, and paradise. bt feringghi is abt 30 mins fr city, but longer stretch of beach and more tourists, usually ppl will go for park royal, holiday inn or golden sands. 200+ as well. for me, i'm not a city person so i'd definitely not stay in the city. ppl might say easier to go clubbing n stuff, but takkan u wanna club during ur whole trip rite? gurney's my first choice. in fact, its my only choice XD

Need to get my visa done so I'm looking for hotels near US Embassy. Any KL native can help me out and suggest some.

Prefebly not too expensive.

Thanks in advance.

Your budget, hotels around KLCC/Ampang are expensive even for single bed room. Around RM 280++ I think.

My budget is around RM 150 per night... I don't mind taking a txi to the embassy.

Anybody..???

RM150 per night is rather difficult as this area is quite expensive.

Try concorde..standard room is RM138.

I hear I can stay in Bukit Bintang area... can anyone tell me how far away is Bukit Bintang from Ampang?

Closest are the Corus, Nikko. They're just adjacent to Jln Ampang which is the main road US Embassy is on. U could walk there in 10 minutes from these hotels. Corus Hotel is cheaper than Nikko Hotel. Micasa is about the same price as Corus and is on the other side from Nikko and Corus also adjacent to the main road Jalan Ampang. You'd be on the same side if staying at Micasa without needing to traverse the main thoroughfare (huge 6 lane intersection)

U couldn't walk it from BB. Possible by taxi but the traffic is bad in that area.

The other hotels nearby are the very large veryexpensive Mandarin Oriental at KLCC,which is nearish also. Less walkable than Corus/Nikko

topic merge with Hotel Search. further enquiries regarding hotel in Malaysia, please post in Hotel search thread or use the search sites on first page. thanks

Juichan, you have started nice and beneficial forum. Keep it up. However I would like to make a suggestion. One thing that many traveller make a choice of hotel is whether there is wifi access. So why not all hotels pblished by members can provide info whether there is such features.

To start with I post these hotels here where there is wifi access

1. Tanah Mas Hotel, Sibu (Free access at the lobby)
2. Park City Hotel, Ipoh, Perak (free wifi access at the lobby. But if you can get a room near to the lobby you might be able to access from the room)
3. Tanjung Bidara Beach Resot (hotspots available but not listed in TMnets hotspot availability in Malacca)

hi guys...
just want to ask, is their any airport in Sarikei.. and the hotels there... pls advise cause i m going there for business trip.. thanks...
